Lol the topic on reee about the changes on tess model is already a shitshow.

They appear to be even more upset that the Juneteenth Halo Infinite update was called Bonobo, after a species of ape. It’s a complete meltdown.

They turned Tess into a meth addict, neutered Joel, and made Ellie the oldest girl that ever started puberty

Jesus ND is on a mission to fuck all of their character designs up and turn them into something where nobody can stand out as being attractive and appealing

Same here, she basically look like another character entirely but the fidelity is crazy, it may be the most realistic woman model ever made in a videogame, she look extremely close to the real life model (way rugged up tho)

They had to make Ellie look older since some angles of the shows actress looks like a 40yo crazy catlady.

“Abby looks like she hulk how the fuck did she get enough protein in the post apocalypse lmfao so unrealistic!!”

“Omg Tess looks like a meth addict now wtf woke-y dog.”

It would be funny if it weren’t so predictable. Huge upgrade in facial animation, emotion, lighting, overall realism….but if you wanna push that sand up into your vagina I’m sure you’ll find a way

Yeah the character models are impressive technically.

it seems like we will be getting cinematic quality character models in gameplay, at least for the main protagonists....similar to Horizon: FW. If so that will make the game look a LOT more impressive.

You can definitely tell there was a big jump in quality over TLOU2 just watching the first minute of this DF analysis

It's s remake. That's always bound to happen when you touch s "work of art" for a lot of people. If it's not the upgrade it's the soundtrack or some subtle change.

That said...I feel this lromo campaign could be much better if they had simply start with gameplay. That's when the game will shine.

Sure that would be perfectly normal, but over there it's different.

I specified what i meant with shitshow in later posts.

The one thing this new facial animation misses is the angry look she has at the end towards Joel. She is half sad, half angry like 'This mother fucker!' but in the remake, she's 100% sad.

Part of the reason why I liked Tess was that she pushed Joel and didn't take his shit. That's probably why her character is so memorable despite such a short running time.

Yeah the new model nails better the sad part but it kinda lacks some subtle details, even the eye tremor is less noticeable imo.

Overall the new one looks more realistic (duh).

Im not seeing it tbh. It looks virtually identical. They seem to be reusing the TLOU2 assets everywhere. Even Ellie and Joel's character model is the same with little to no improvements from the first few flashbacks.

But yeah, if they can pull a TLOU remaster and include cutscene quality lighting and character models in game, yes!
I want this in game:

And this put back in the game from the E3 demo.

P.S Just found this screenshot I took years ago of the TLOU remaster. This is ingame. They did a great job improving not just the character models but also ingame lighting with the remaster.

After rewatching the gifs above… The way she does her jaw at the end when she turns her head, is straight up a woman being pissed the fuck off after the sad.

I took a break from gaming when TLOU came out on PS3 so the first time I experienced it was on PS4.

It was amazing. I gotta say though I'm jealous of those who will experience it for the first time on PS5.

Mainly that shot of Joel grabbing the Clicker....that looks way better to me than anything in TLOU2 but maybe I'm just not remembering it all that well.

The environments are mostly similar though. But I think if they could get the character quality up a lot that would do a lot to improve the look

Overpriced based on general value/pricing metric for other 70 dollars games so far. I am perfectly fine with others spending whatever they'd like to, but that doesn't change the fact it is overpriced.

I disagree.

Its a AAA game, in a different engine, with new features. We've seen lessor get charged for full price. I just finished replaying KOTOR, would be like me fucking saying it holds up well imho annnnnd 70 for a remake is overpriced, should be $2 AT MOST /s
 
The good thing about replaying TLOU Part 1 is it's not broken up into two bloated halves where you lose all your progression. What a fucking stupid decision that was. TLOU Part 1 is definitely the better overall production and game, doubly so once they get the AI and encountered improved

Interested to see if they add more upgrades to this one.

Post in thread 'The Last Of Us Part 1 - Improvements Listed' https://www.neogaf.com/threads/the-last-of-us-part-1-improvements-listed.1637878/post-266284833

There's this weird idea on the internet floating around that Naughty Dog deliberately made her look "uglier" and made the facial expressions look "less natural" with the context of the scene.

Like seriously I don't understand what it is but it's ONLY with naughty dog games that I see this weirdness happen with. It's like people have Naughty Dog Derangement Syndrome or Neil Druckmann Derangement Syndrome.

This model of Tess is a step up in every.single.way to better match the tone of the game. Simple

Can even see in that video u listed that these new facial animations better convey what they originally go for

Mate, you are just loving putting up straw man. KOTOR is almost 20 years old in PS2 era, the remake is most likely to be like FF7R or RE2 and RE3 - keeping the same frame for story and plot while every system is drastically modernized. It's not the case for TLOU - you get all bells and whiles okay, but the game will play more or less same, let alone it's already having a beefed up version on PS4 with 60 fps and nice graphic already.

I am happy that you are excited for it, but your analogy and /s is not making any sense whatsoever. Please , just enjoy whatever you want to, we can move on now.

Different AI, different gameplay, different engine, its more then enough to compare.

Would be like saying RE2002 shouldn't be full price or Twin Snakes shouldn't be full price, that shit wasn't fucking 20 years difference either bud lol

Like everyone pretty much been saying since the rumors. ND used to take risks over new IPs.

Just to give you an ideia, even IGN say the same and is very unlikely they do this kinda of stuff again.


Too late to complain now. Just pray for others Sony first party studio do the oposite.

Isn't that the idiot who said the Xbox Series S is "faster" than the PS5? lol

Edit: yeah that's him, same goofy face and annoying voice:

The Callisto Protocol character model looks incredible too. Apparently its realtime. I dismissed it thinking it was CG, but this has to be the best looking character model of all time.

I doubt this is eating into any new game's time or budget,Naughty Dog is a bigger team than they were before. They're even working on another project. One of the reasons this remake is even being done is to bring newer staff up to speed on PS5.
Any kind of project eats up time and resources.You could say this eats up less time and resources compared to a new game given that its a faithful Remaster/Remake, but it still does.
